A205 Cabriolet
Dan from Tasmania, Australia!

Hello folks,

I’m Dan, and I live in Tasmania Australia. I have a C200 A205 Cabriolet which I love, and joined up to learn more about my vehicle.

But it seems this forum doesn’t even list my car in the section for specific models - guess my model were never imported into the USA?

Edit - I see people with my car (2 litre 4 cylinder A205) post in the C205 Coupe section - all good!

A couple of pictures anyway….

Interesting, so the GLA has more horsepower being a 250 vs 200? Rarely you see that around here in North America for example, guess it is because there is no C 200 here. Both great cars and enjoy in good health.

They are both 2 litre 4 cylinder engines, it’s just a designation rather than an indication of engine size/performance. The C300 in Australia is also a 2 litre 4 - that said, the GLA makes a touch more HP but it’s a different, newer engine.

Thanks for the good wishes!
